Spring Flowers

Photos by Belinda Dannatt, Australia, taken at Canberra's Floriade event

One of the fun things about being on Facebook is finding people from all over the world.

I have found a few Dannatts living in Australia and have put them on my Facebook "friends" list so one of these days I can start doing some research to see if they are related.

Whenever one of the Australian Dannatts posts something to Facebook, it shows up on my home page. Most of the time it is their side of chatter with their friends, whose posts I can't see.

However, Saturday afternoon Belinda Dannatt (don't know if we're related or not) posted 70-some photos of a spring flower show in Canberra. The photos are absolutely breath-taking. I sent Belinda an e-mail and asked if she would forward a few of the photos to me to place on this blog.

I'm sharing these with you so you might turn your gaze from the snow drifts outside your window to the bright colors of spring in Australia.
